Default Stargate episode 200!!!

Best Stargate episode EVER.

Strike that, best sci-fi show ever.

Strike that. BEST TELEVISION SHOW OF ALL TIME.

Watch this show. Even if you've never seen an episode of Stargate, watch this show.

If you like sci-fi, and if you don't you probably wouldn't be here, you have to watch this freaking show!!!

But make sure you use the restroom before you watch it. You might laugh so hard you'll wet yourself.

Ooohh. Sounds like I'll have to download this one

I'm happy to hear it's a great episode, as from what I've read Stargate's ratings have taken a big of a downhill slide since the beginning of the season; perhaps this episode will help bring the fans in again.

It's the 200th episode that premiered last night. The episode is called "200" coincidentally enough.

I was rolling on the floor when they did the 'supermarination' (puppets) spoof. Especially when Hammond goes "make it spin" then he later says "I'm the general and I want it to spin." I just lost it! I thought I might have to change my drawers.

Speaking as someone who hasn't seen it and most likely won't for a year maybe two I have to say I beg to differ. I've seen some pictures. Teal'c with an open front jacket and Mitchell wearing a ridiculous jacket, SG1 skipping about as Dorothy and Co. I read the synopsis and it's not my thing. Ok I get the idea, they are poking fun at themselves but I don't find tongue in cheek humour funny and when they crack jokes on episodes I just wish they'd get on with things. I have an understanding other people see things differently and that's ok but I have to be the voice of disent. For anyone wanting to see it due to the praise here just keep in mind I think people say it's great because it's funny or something. For me great would be a half hour battle against the Ori with complete CGI.

Again, I haven't seen it and I read there's some sort of revelation at the end. Perhaps I would think differently when I see that bit. I hear the Furlings turn up, but then again the synopsis says the supposedly funny hollywood version has them so perhaps they don't really turn up.

Bah! They did the Dorothy skit for five seconds

And the open jacket and stuff was spoofing Farscape you farbot! (seriously that too was an excellent show with a great sense of humor and drama and fun all at the same time) and it is BTW the way Ben Browder and Claudia black BOTH got their starts in American TV, and Valla and Mitchell are (Black, and Browder) respectively so it was hilarious that they poked fun at where those two got their start.

Well other then the first EP with Valla where she actually brandishes a Peacekeeper pistol

All of the spoof stuff made perfect sense in the context of the show, and it's a riot. It's some of the funniest, and cleverest tv I've seen in a very long time. Just more evidence that Stargate is the smartest, best written sci-fi show ever. I've got this one saved on my DVR and I'm going to have to watch it a few more times before deleting it.

I really didn't like it that much say for the last 30 seconds. I got the whole show but just felt that it was a jump the shark spoof and really would have liked to have seen what they could have done with the show if they had been a bit more serious and had more time. While it had a lot of shots and scenes that just set the hair up on the back of your neck, over all it was kinda disappointing. But still, we got to see Jack again and that was well worth it.
